Is this a first, second or third generation FT Cube?

Says 2nd gen in the specs. Also comes with gen 3 remote.

I prefer the 2nd gen to the 3rd. I returned the 3rd. It was slightly faster, but we found the picture quality lacking. I am tempted, but don’t really need another fire device.

The warranty is confusing go me. It states it has the same warranty as a new device. But it also says 90 day woot warranty.

Sorry for the confusion. It’s a 90-day Woot warranty.

I currently have three 4K FireSticks running on a separate 5k wifi segment. Is the cube enough of an upgrade to warrant the cost of replacing a working solution?

IMO, heck yeah it is!

Maybe not all 3, but I upgraded my primary to the cube and I love it.

This is a great price but we just upgraded to the 3rd gen and I had no idea how bad the lag was loading apps. I wouldn’t be able to go back to our gen 2 anymore, gen 3 is just too snappy.

Honestly Alexa listened so much better on the 2nd gen lol. 3rd gen mic sucks

Is it better than 4k Fire stick?

Just some info for people thinking of buying: I have 2 of these, and both of them have problems when set to 4K. They work fine except once in a while it will “glitch” and stop the video that’s playing. Happens on both my 2nd gen cubes at 4K, doesn’t happen with my 4K sticks, and doesn’t happen if cubes are set to 1080.

Also if you go to amazon trade in you’ll see that they don’t accept trade in at all for cubes, so I believe they are aware of a problem. This annoys me because these were pretty expensive, I feel that the least they should do is give you $5 and a discount on another device for a trade in.

Anyway, I have a 4K stick and a 4k Max stick and both work fine. My advice would be get a 4K max stick unless you really need the extra memory in the cube, or you want it to also act like a ‘hands free’ echo device. A new 4K max stick is the same price as they are asking for this, and has WiFi 6.

Sounds like you should have UPS and the post office on that list.

Yeah, Amazon chooses the most economical way to ship. Sometimes that “SurePost” in which UPS hands off to your post office. We don’t get a say in how they ship. Sorry.

I ordered this thing April 7th and it told me the estimated delivery date was Friday the 14th. It’s now the 20th and when I look at my order history it still just shows preparing to ship. Any idea what’s going on???
